Catfish?

Is it illegal to fish with white bass meat as bait on the local ponds? I was told by someone at willow today. Saw the guy nook a 10lb cat huge…

:sunglasses:**Utah Lake is the only water listed in the Fishing Guide that allows the use of white bass meat. **


Chub minnows, carp meat, sucker meat will all work as well. So will salt water fish flesh…like mackerel, smelt or other inexpensive items from the fish market.

Dead white bass may also be used as bait on The Mighty Jordan River.

OK!!! I am convinced that when you are around, that big fish are caught by someone else[crazy]… When are we going?[sly]

i know and i’m the one catching the 1lb muds or the skini trout that have seen better days. We should hit willo sometime, i should be out ther tonight with my little boy.

Was the guy using white bass for bait, and were there any other channels caught?

I’m sure they just planted catfish, because alot were being caught yesterday.

Let me put it this way he took 8 home with his son in a matter of an hour or so, the guy next to him had 3 already and was catching them and putting them back in the water and the pond was very lonely last night. I guess they just put some there on Tuesday night. I can already see the crowds coming with the good weather just around the corner. Here is what I managed last night with my fly rod.
